Apalachee High School’s Trey Hayes (left) and brother Davis Hayes have excelled on the tennis court in doubles play this spring. Trey Hayes has now broken the school record for career doubles wins, setting the mark March 15 against Gainesville High School.

The Apalachee High School boys tennis team survived what coach Dan Woschitz termed a “challenging week” with flying colors.

The AHS coach noted that his athletes would be facing Winder-Barrow High School on the road and then hosting Gainesville High School, both of which were undefeated in Region 8-AAAA.

The Wildcats would then have to travel to Flowery Branch High School for a matchup with the Falcons, who had lost only once in region play.

“At the beginning of this week I thought that we could play well, but end up 0-3,” said Woschitz. “However, I also knew that we could also sweep the week and put ourselves in the lead for the No. 1 seed in the region.”

AHS responded to last week’s opportunity by winning 4-1 against Winder-Barrow, then 4-1 against Gainesville and finally a 5-0 sweep at Flowery Branch.
Those wins saw the Wildcats improve to 10-2 overall on the season and, more importantly, 7-0 in the region.

Chandler Hagan has been enjoying an outstanding season with an 11-1 record. His strong play on the court continued last week.

“It is not just Chandler’s play, but the way he cares about the team and works with other varsity and young players that is fueling this team,” said Woschitz.

Freshman Eli Hagan has also been impressive as he remains perfect on the season at No. 2 singles with a record of 12-0. The No. 3 singles player, Cristian Perez, has rolled to a 10-1 record, and he has clinched three victories this year.

The team’s lone senior, Trey Hayes, broke the school record for career doubles wins March 15 against Gainesville with a 3-set victory. Trey plays No. 1 doubles with his brother, Davis Hayes, who is a sophomore.
